LEDA, according to Greek mythology, was the wife of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, but was loved by Zeus, who seduced her in the guise of a swan. As a swan, Zeus fell into her arms for protection from a pursuing eagle. Their consummation resulted in an egg, from which hatched Helen - later known as Helen Of Troy. Another account of the myth states that Nemesis was the mother of Helen, and was also impregnated by Zeus in the guise of a swan. A shepherd found the egg and gave it to Leda, who carefully tended to it until it hatched, adopted Helen as her own daughter. Zeus also commemorated the birth of Helen by creating the constellation Cygnus, the Swan, in the sky.
